Year of the Snake

I went back to Beijing in Feb 2013 for the Chinese new year, this year is 癸巳- the water snake, which reminds me a famous Chinese folk lore "The tale of the White Snake".

In the story a white snake turned into a human lady form and married a guy she fall in love with, but a monk doesn't approve the love between human and demon, he took away the man and locked him into his temple. The snake was furious and turn back into a giant snake and try to use water magic to drown the entire temple.

I painted this quickly with some Chinese parinting and mark making technique in my father's studio.

Icon of ZhuQue

I created a icon of ZhuQue also as "Vermilion Bird". Very similar to the Chinese Phoenix, but more like the Western version of Phoenix which is a firebird, for more information for this mythological creature check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuque

Chinese Type illustration

I created a type illustration for the character "右" can be also read as "友" or "发"

Chinese Painting LOTUS

While I was visiting Beijing last month, i painted a quick painting in my father's studio and played with all his materials, i spent about 1 hour to paint this Chinese painting version of my illustration "Journey to the west". Different than the original illustration, this work is much more fine artish and also much larger in scale.

Check the original illustration:

WallPaper Nei Jing

Nei Jing

The full title of Nei Jing is called Huang Di Nei Jing, which may be translated as the Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine. Two separate books named Su Wen and Ling Shu respectively make up the Nei Jing

The book called Ling Shu means "the Axis of the Divine Soul", it was intended to be a fully comprehensive discussion on traditional Chinese medicine. Su Wen may be translated as "the Classics of Dialogues Concerning Internal Medicine".

"The whole history of traditional Chinese medicine is but a series of footnotes on Nei Jing!"

Great Treatise on Regulation of Spirit in Harmony with the Climates of Four Seasons - Nei Jing Chapter 2:

In this chapter, the patterns of change in the four seasons are discussed, namely, warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn, and cold winter. In order to adjust to such change in favour of health, it is necessary and desirable to nourish Yang in spring and summer and to nourish Yin in autumn and winter.

Here's two wallpapers that display the whole content from Chapter 2 of "Nei Jing", 1920X1200.

New ZhenVision.com!

I just finished a whole new version of ZhenVision.com today, it took me about a week of passionate work to finish it.

The new site is much more mobile friendly than the last version, and i applied more theme and element in it while still keep it simple and clean. Links and social networks are better too in the new site located in the footer area.

I updated some new projects such as mySHAW and some branding/identity projects. In Zi - Chinese Characters's page I also added extra personal works that promos Chinese culture and classics which I will keep working on.

Next step: i will start a redesign for the ZhenVision Illustration site as well, to make it more mobile compatible.

Iphone Zodiac Games

I've design a series(12) of zodiac animal icons for a previous school project when i was in VCD major in ACAD. check them here Now I and my friend Jacky Chik are planning to build a series of iphone games which have them as the main characters for each game.

Everything is still in planning stage, but we decided to start from the Rat character and build a game similar to traditional "Smash-gopher" and inspired by the "Plants VS Zombie" type of game.

Here is a mockup for the login menu for the game. More are coming :)
